Dodge Eyes NASCAR Comeback Through Truck Series in 2026

The iconic American automaker has submitted a proposal to re-enter NASCAR, potentially paving the way for a future Cup Series return.

Dodge has formally submitted paperwork to NASCAR, seeking approval to rejoin the Truck Series under its Ram brand as early as 2026.
The move marks Dodge's return to NASCAR after a decade-long absence, with the brand last competing in the Truck Series in 2016 and the Cup Series in 2012.
If approved, Dodge plans to use the Truck Series as a stepping stone for a potential re-entry into the Cup Series by 2027 or 2028.
NASCAR is reportedly reviewing Dodge's proposal, with a decision expected in the coming months to allow time for vehicle testing and preparation.
The potential return of Dodge, alongside rumors of Honda's interest in joining NASCAR, could expand the manufacturer lineup and reshape the competitive landscape of the sport.
